Pyronex

Pyronex is a CSS developed and manufactured deflagrating pyrotechnic system, ideal for situations when noise, fly rock or vibration must be minimised.

Pyronex provides a safer alternative to using high explosives for smaller applications in quarrying and demolition. Pyronex burns at a slower relative velocity than standard explosive products, generating gases which cause a splitting of rock and concrete along the natural areas of weakness in the material to be broken.

Description of Item: The stores consist of a water resistant, biodegradable cardboard tube containing an electric igniter and a nominal amount (differs with each size) of pyrotechnic composition. All sizes have 2 metre leadwires.

Description of Effect: Pyronex is intended for use in commercial mining and civil engineering for the breaking of rocks, concrete blocks and other reductions of solid masses where noise, fly rock or vibration is of concern.
